Prosecutor in case against Jose Padilla tells court they’ve made a formal plea offer, defense says they are still considering offer on the table. No details on the offer. Padilla remains incarcerated. huffpost.com/entry/jose-pad…
Standard reminder that plea deals are how the overwhelming majority of federal cases are settled.
Judge says a 60 day extension is appropriate, but warns that they’re not just going to keep doing extensions. He says government will “have to do some real soul-searching” if global Capitol discovery is going to take six months.
Hearing over. Back in late August.
Padilla was one of several Capitol defendants who pushed back on online conspiracy theories about undercover antifascists perpetrating the violence and destruction on Jan. 6: huffpost.com/entry/trump-ca…

Attorney General Merrick Garland is about to give a speech on voting rights in the Justice Department’s Great Hall. He’ll call the expansion of voting to all eligible citizens "the central pillar” of democracy. huffpost.com/entry/doj-voti…
"That means ensuring that all eligible voters can cast a vote; that all lawful votes are counted; and that every voter has access to accurate information.” huffpost.com/entry/doj-voti…
"The Department of Justice will never stop working to protect the democracy to which all Americans are entitled.” huffpost.com/entry/doj-voti…

Back in November, Stop the Steal organizer Alan Hostetter called for “an execution or two or three.” He was en route to the Million MAGA March in D.C.

He’s now one of six Californians charged in this new Jan. 6 indictment: huffpost.com/entry/alan-hos…
“Just wait until the script is flipped.”

Here’s my latest, featuring some fresh reporting about the thinly-veiled threats Hostetter made to the online sleuths who chronicled his actions:

Hat remains valid for the time being.

Both Twitter and Facebook were compelled to comply with a search warrant issued in connection with the case against Capitol defendant Antionne De Shaun Brodnax, aka bugziethedon, who was shooting a music video on Jan. 6. Government says both companies have now provided records.
Brodnax had moved to quash the search warrants, arguing they were over broad. Link: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
After Brodnax was notified about the search warrant by Twitter and tried to quash, Twitter told the government they’d suspend processing the request. The government argued they can’t do that. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Chris Wray's explanation of why the FBI's Jan. 6 probe differs from the bureau's response to last summer's riots is worth a watch. His main (somewhat obvious) points:

1) An attack on the U.S. Capitol triggers more federal laws.

2) The Jan. 6 crowd gave the FBI a lot of layups.
You can see why he gets interrupted there: It’s a thorough and logical explanation that guts a key talking point on the right.
The notion that the feds treaded lightly last summer is really just plainly inaccurate. More than 300 defendants were charged in the course of four months. Some of the approaches were pretty experimental. huffpost.com/entry/anti-rio…

“I led the storm!” the 26-year-old Proud Boy told his mother.

His mom was worried about her Proud Boy, and recommended baby shampoo to help with the pepper spray.

Now he’s under arrest.

Story with @JosieHarvey_: huffpost.com/entry/proud-bo…
Proud Boy’s mom to him on Jan. 6: “When are you heading home… You need to get out of there… let me know when your out of the city….” huffpost.com/entry/proud-bo…
Proud Boy’s mom had advice on pepper spray:

"Try washing them with baby shampoo… And water… Baby shampoo or dawn mixed with water for the skin around the area.”
